Astros' Patrick Halligan: Acquired from Atlanta

The Astros acquired Halligan on Friday as the player to be named later in the trade that sent Rafael Montero to Atlanta on Tuesday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Halligan is a 25-year-old right-hander who split time between Double-A and Triple-A in Atlanta's organization last season. He opened the 2025 campaign at the Double-A level, allowing two earned runs across one inning of work.
